Is there any way to repair the lugs if you have scratched them? I have tiny scratches on the front of my lungs when the spring bar popped forward
Great video. My watch has holes in the case. What tool can I use to safely remove the bracelet?
Great video! Thanks so much! I wanted to do this for a long time and I was scared to do it until I saw your video. I have purchased the Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer Lug Removal Fitting Tool and ordered a Artem classic strap with standard spring bar. I have couple of questions:
1) can you use a regular tape or should I get what you recommended in your video?
2) should I use the Bergeon tool to install the Artem strap? The Artem strap doesn’t have two holes at the end of strap so it seems somewhat difficult to install it. Any recommendations on installing the Artem strap with standard spring bar? It would be great if you make a video showing installing your strap.
Cheers
I use tape as well. However, all my Rolexes have shoulderless spring bars requiring you to compress the bars through the drilled lugs which the newer models do not have. Good video.
Speaking from personal experience, a pair of $20 spring bar pliers from Amazon is enough for the average joe.
Perhaps so! Never tried myself, but from early experience, cheap tools tend to not last. You may end up buying multiple cheap versions, which can end up costing the same as the expensive one.
@@LumeShotI think I’ll take my chances, seeing as the $20 pliers would have to fail 8 times before I’ll have spent $180. Not very likely is it?
Bought a similar tool off Aliexpress for $8 and it did the job. Not sure how it compares to the tool in the video but I am happy.
This is so spot on. I experienced the whole damn thing this week. Right down to being told I was over reacting
Have watched you grow over these few years now it’s a pleasure to see you still going stronger than ever, I haven’t watched the last 2-3 years with having gone through cancer and a few bereavement’s but this is a great channel and I wish you nothing but success.
Quick question where did you get the spring bar tool with the rubber bands/grip or have you got a link.
Thanks for your support! The spring bar tool is a custom made one
Great content and your humor is perfect! I appreciate that you didn't release a Rolex prediction video like all the others, although I know how to changes my straps and bracelets etc... I took your advice a while ago about using heat tape..and never looked back!
Thanks Billy! Glad it was helpful!
Great video and funny too. I really like the tip of moving the watch instead of the tool. It's really easy to slip off of a spring bar. Keep up the good work!
Those little things always fly off 😂
Love your sense of humor and content!
You can take precautions and use small amounts of electrical tape over the lugs to protect scratching. This is what most reputable jewelers do to ensure no matter what tool they use they protect the lugs from damage.
Super helpful video, especially the sliding of the watch head instead of the bracelet part. Subscribed!
Should you use tweezers for a Speedmaster 3861 bracelet? They don’t have double shouldered spring bars like Rolex, which is why I’m asking.
Do you have any details on the rubber strap you put on your Sub?
thanks for the video, helpful. "A little tug", that is a line from the Timepiece gentlemen, I see them for sale around $150. Agreed, I scratched many watches on the inside.
Dude, thanks for creating and posting this video! I’ve been trying to install a bracelet on my Breitling for several days now. Just ordered a pair of 7825 spring bar tweezers, thanks a ton.
Hilarious edits Eric! I actually have the same Bergeon double spring bar tool because you recommended it to me, it’s awesome, such a life saver
Haha, thanks man! The tool just makes everything so much easier
Thank you, clearly I have found someone after my own heart. I completely freaked out when then jeweler handed it back to me, proudly, and I marveled how it is that I can see the most microscopic scratch like it's outlined in neon. So I can be sitting here at 2am appreciating the tip about thermal tape, but I've got oysters from the 80s that have never had the bracelet taken off, and for some reason they are not coming off despite pressing on both sides simultaneously with those reset things in the iphone box. taking a break before I destroy them on accident.
most appreciated the comment that no one cares more about your watch than you do. It's more than how much they cost, it's just so well made, possibly the best made thing in the world, that is the value of it even if it's just plain stainless steel. I have gone to New York just to take my grandfather's crazy solid gold Rolex in, to be told that it had just outlived its life by whoever Rolex doesn't realize is representing them now. A Rolex that has outlived its life, great. Later I found out you need to wind the perpetual at least 25 times if it's been stopped for a while. Reading online people going nuts taking it in for servicing and can't figure out why it keeps stopping for no reason. I should just do it, give up any pretence of a profession and go to Swiss watchmaking school, but they are not taking applications at this time.
okay, I'll settle for a Submariner, that's been the dream for a while, I'll make it a goal.
Thanks for posting such a great video and discussing the worries of changing a bracelet. I’m going to try this with my newly purchased Air King this weekend. Do you have any videos on changing the deployment clasp to fit with other straps like Rubber B and are there any that you recommend or use yourself? Hope you get this…
And you use the same tool for the micro adjustments?
Wow. Really very well explained. Good job. Many thanks for that. I will get this tool right away.
Great video! Need to get that tool, do you have any recommendations for getting high quality spring bars? Obvious fear to have one break and watch flying off the wrist!
I have thought I was alone thinking the scratches bothered me. I always thought a tool like the one you showed would be perfect but didn’t know it existed. I’d be down to buy a more affordable one since I don’t have any watches above a couple hundred.
Which strap are you using on your submariner? I love it!
Great video! A lot of people ask me how I use this tool when I remove my oyster bracelet. 🙂 I actually use a third party handle, but I use the Bergeon tips from Esslinger. About half the cost, but it's worth it. I agree that it's worth the money to get tools which save you the hassle.
I also just changed my sub to an Artrem strap too! It's a nice change of pace. Keep up the great content! I learned a lot from your videos.
Excellent and informative video. Like your presentation style too 👍
Speaking from my personal experience of owning luxury watches since the past 15 years, take it to a watch repair or service shop and get it done professionally. Its a hassle and you wouldn’t want to ruin your perfect weekend.
Do you also take your car to the workshop when your windshield washer fluid is empty?
What kind of strap do you have on your Submariner?
Question where did you get the black rubber strap for your Rolex submariner?
Great video, perfect explanation and demonstration. Thank you!
Could you advise the driver required for removing the screws from the links of the Oyster bracelet? Something quality please
I was keenly interested in how to change an oysterflex! How about showing that change out?
I have a question. I got a new Rubber B strap for my GMT II ceramic bezel Rolex. As you mentioned, I didn’t want to do the work mussel so I took it to a watch store. The clerk told me that the rubber strap wouldn’t work because the bracelet of the Rolex doesn’t come off as you’ve shown. Instead the first sections of the strap closest to the watch aren’t removable? Does this make sense?
So very true. There is nobody, that cares more about, ones watch, than oneself does.
Great video, thank you it helped me to figure out better way to click it in 😁
How much usually for a new spring bar for a datejust
Will the (Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer Lug Removal Fitting Tool) remove the 2004 Rolex Datejust Turn-O-Graph 116263 with the two tone Jubilee bracelet?
Hello, what about repairing an lady oyster bracelet that opened in the middle of the band ?
Great video! And so true! Some tools can be expensive, but definitely worth the money. I also have learned to build a sort of mini fort around my work table so those spring bars don’t fly into a different dimension. If the spring bar flies out… it hits a wall.
does the Bergeon 7825 work with the Rolex Oysterflex band?
Great video thank you for taking the time to break all of this down
I use Bergeon 8111 for my Tudor Pelagos. For eliminathing scratches I just protect the case with modeling tape that I use for my Gunpla (Gundam) models. LOL
This is weirdly coincidential that i was precisely thinking about changing my steel bracelet on my Mathey Tissot for one that is Jubilee and carved by Mathey Tissot as well but i'm just stuck with thoughts of damaging this beautiful piece.
is there a recommended tip size for the daytona?
Very very nice; thank you!!
I wish I watched this before I changed my strap for the first time. Very minimal damage happened but could have been prevented.
Can you change the first "clip" On rolex?
Thanks for video. Give me the confidence to dress my watches. Can you recommend a rubber bracelet for sub?
I have seen that tool before but never live, nicely done, thank you, see you later!
Thanks for watching!
Can the Bergeon 7825 Spring Bar Tweezer be used on Oysterflex Strap installation?
i usually use a hunting knife tip.
thanks for the tipps.
does it work on 16234?
Brilliant video. Knowledgeable, informative, witty and full of operational insight as well as humour. Thanks a lot and well done sir!
why thermal tape?
Well done, thanks.
Awesome video. However, I have no intentions of removing the bracelet from my Submariner, it feels so good on the bracelet. My Seamaster However will probably go on a rubber strap soon.
Thats how I felt as well, but thought why not give it a try. Its not like the strap is permanent 🙌🏻
@@LumeShot That is a good point. I am a big fan of rubber straps. I have one on my SKX right now.
Great video man, love the cut-away content, made me laugh!!
Haha thanks!!
Thanks
The thermal tape - Brilliant!
Great tutorial brother 👏
I like your video, thank you for making this.
Also work on newer Omega seamaster with the same kind of lug pins.
Very good! Thanks!
Wonderful video! You are so talented.. Thank you.. greetings
Some great tips, thanks
Can u DO a battery swap on a timex
Fantastic advice 👏👏👏👏
As a qualified bench jeweller,imagine setting a 1 oz Krugerrand coin in a setting and you slip and scratch the coin.That coin is damaged.The same applies to any other type of jewellery including watches.I worked for the House of SID FORMAN Jewellers in Johannesburg so i know about quality workmanship.
Great Video, Thanks
Took a long time to get to the point. Land your plane quickly. Also not everyone has $200 to fork out for the spring bar you recommended. 🤷🏻♀️
I am going to get that tool...i have already scratched my Sub and Speedmaster
Thank you
Excellent video.
Burgeon, the Swiss Snap-On.
Please put time stamps so I can just get to the point
Fantastic!!!!!!
$220 !!!! No way ! Lol
Thanks for the vid! you have earned a sub from me!
Have you ever done a Baby Tuna?
That’s a weird fetish bro lmao j/k seikos are awesome watches
I use Chinese burgeon on my Tudor.. 😂 good enuf to do the job..
Don’t get why they have to make such a hard and inefficient way to change bracelets
I wish he told us his method costs $200 in the first few seconds...
cut the crap straight to the strap exchange 1:30
Gah I came here and now I am leaving $200 poorer and way more satisfied. That's impressive. 🙂
You have to see how my longines hydro conquest is scratched badly cause the bracelet is pain in the ass ti change 😂😂😂
Haha, lets #savethelugs
Take it to a jeweler
They have them on Amazon for under $25😊
Not the same quality at all, I have a cheap pair from AE and Bergeon, the Bergeon fits the very narrow opening space on Rolexes.
If you can afford to buy Rolex, you can afford to pay proffessional to remove it safely. Imagine millionaire who tries to change strap himself 🤣
I’m not a millionaire yet I own a Rolex, why pay hundreds of dollars when you can do it yourself at home without having to go to your AD?
I own 5 Rolex’s and a omega along with a devil diver collection and work at McDonald’s. Sorry bud you don’t have to be even close to a millionaire to own a Rolex
I own a Panda Daytona and do all of my own work on it when I can. It's nice to learn and do the work yourself sometimes.
I am homeless and own a Rolex. I always change my own strap and refuse to take it to a professional.
What a stupid comment
Funny all these video's don't mention that they Oyster is super easy to remove and install. My dog can do it with her tail! You are aware that there are other watches and bracelets in the Rolex line-up do you not? Just once I would like to see one of these vids show how to install a Jubilee bracelet with the 455 end links. Now that would be something worth knowing! Maybe be more forthcoming and title your vid to mention only late model solid end linked Oysters?
